学修の目的と方法
| 授業の概要 | 海洋生物科学を学ぶ上で必要な，科学英語の読解および聞き取りと会話に関する能力を修得する。 Majority of earth’s surface is covered with ocean and it is considered as the critical source of life, energy and resources. It directly influences on worldwide temperatures & weather. Therefore this course is specially designed to deepen the fundamental knowledge related to physical and biological aspects of the ocean. This course offers lectures, explanations based on video clips & handouts, opportunities to perform formal presentations in English along with the variety of opportunities to improve listening, reading, writing & communication skills in English. Here English is used as the medium to provide the scientific knowledge, since English becomes widely using language as a mean of instruction in a large number of educational institutions, language centers and universities and as a pathway to accessing broad knowledge of all fields. During this course, students will engage with scientific vocabularies, writing reports, formal presentations, asking questions & answering to questions in English related to the areas of marine organisms, marine environment, ocean water chemistry and geology. This course will help them to improve the fundamental knowledge, listen to English & extract required information, properly understand the research papers or any other scientific literature in English, involve in researches & projects and apply their knowledge to find options for the problems related to the aquaculture and fisheries industry in the future. |
|---|---|
| 学修の目的 | To provide fundamental knowledge related to the ocean environment and marine organisms. To produce ideas an acceptable written form and extend the vocabulary in English related to the scientific fields particularly on marine biology & oceanography. To improve communication skills in English by performing discussions, formal presentations, making questions by critical thinking & answering during presentation sessions. To develop flexible and versatile human resources in this fast globalizing world. |
| 学修の到達目標 | Upon completion of this course, students will be able to ・Improve the fundamental knowledge related to the field of marine biology & oceanography ・Follow lectures conducted in English ・Listen to the scientific English, extract required information and write that information in a formal report ・Conceptualize scientific information and express them in presentations (power point, poster etc.) answer to the questions and ask logical questions in English. ・Involve in national & international researches and projects ・Develop skills to challenge to the world without limiting to their own country. ・Find job opportunities both in national and international industries. |
